I remember, when I was a sound engineer with the Dutch radio, I had to broadcast a pianorecital. When that piece came by I had no idea what was going to happen - nobody had warned me just to see how I would react. Well, I was panic-stricken because I thought my microphones were failing. Afterwards, we had good laugh.
